Went for a walk with my partner and pup, ended up using my shirt as a compress for a dying man. Sorry for the smart comment, but maybe it’s time to figure out how to tackle the balance of compassionate treatment of the transient population with public safety. My girlfriend will be processing the trauma for days and Howe St has become a thoroughfare.
Sorry for the duplicates earlier today -- the georeporter android app has bit-rotted something fierce. There is ongoing gravel in the bike lane on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St. This is a repeat of ureport #198967, which was never resolved. Recently, landscapers have refreshed the gravel in the median strip. And when they did so, they spread gravel directly in the bike lane, and they also over-filled the planters so that gravel continues to drain into the bike lane. This is a transportation safety issue and not a zoning issue!!! If Parks and Planning can't do anything about it, something still needs to be done about it! Thanks - Greg
Twice now over the past 4 days, I have been walking in the middle of this crosswalk across High St, and a car coming the other way does not stop and drives around me, once when I had two children behind me. Both were white female drivers in their 60s/70s. Perhaps their vision does not see the white painted crosswalk area OR the yellow signs, but I'm thinking they are choosing to break the law. Mateo is a wonderful crossing guard, but he was not there either of these two times. This area needs to be repainted with high visibility/reflective paint, a blinking light on the signs, or at the very minimum, monitored by police for a while. Someone is going to get killed.
The sidewalk between these two houses has one step up and one step down. This increases the walking distance to the park if one is using a stroller, wheel chair, or bike, by a quarter mile if they live in the southern section of Sherwood oaks 2. Why not 2 ramps????
The north-west Conner of the metal plate sticks up enough that I could cause a bike rider a problem if they didn’t spot it…say at night.
Great news! There is high demand for bicycle parking near Bryan Park pool. Sad news: There is no overflow bicycle parking near Bryan Park pool. Could overflow bicycle parking at this location be added to a wish list for next year?
This stop light seems to not respond to a cyclist going east or west. Meaning if a cyclist comes to it and there are no cars going E/W to "trip" it, it won't go green. Also, if there are cars in the turn lanes, it will give them turn arrows, but not give the straight traffic a green. I usually wait for a clearing and just go through the red light now. This is a new-ish issue; it didn't use to do this. It may have been on a timer before?
Broken glass in bike lane
There’s no crosswalk or signage indicating pedestrian crossing. More kids from our neighborhood are walking and biking to Jackson Creek but crossing from Forester St across E Rogers in the morning can be dangerous. Can the city investigate putting something there to protect kids and encourage motorists to slow down ? Signs, painted strips etc would be great
On Rockport road just south of Hennessey the Pedestrian crossing for the Clear Creek Trail does not have the correct pavement markings for a pedestrian crossing since they repaved Rockport Rd.
